Wow, that's actually very surprising. I thought IML really strongly favored town, but apparently it favors scum unless hapa rolls town. I'll have to reevaluate my thoughts on IML balance.

I feel like I'm the only one not surprised. Lol

Think about how much shit happens at EOD and how much more shit almost happens, and then realize that in IML, you have no idea when EOD actually is. I feel like that speaks for itself

people are way more jumpy in iml to lynch people instead of discussing things out fully and lynching the best targets

I think it favours town as long as town is well organized and you don't have people doing their own thing. It might be a snowball effect; if town plays well IML greatly favors them, if they don't it's strong against them.

This makes me feel like town players just don't know how to exploit IML to their favor as opposed to the format itself being hard for town.

It's just so easy for a town to string a day out, discuss things thoroughly, and just grind down a mafia team into submission. Controlling the time of a lynch is an extremely powerful tool.

I don't think so. None of the games I won were with insanely active towns.

It was largely a leader or two in the town organizing discussion and getting a lynch pushed.

That's probably true. I've always thought of IML as a pro-town setup (since you can wait for lurkers to come back, or hammer obvious scum quickly rather than waste time), but all of this requires leadership or cohesion to exist. An organized town benefits greatly. The issue is, your typical town is not well-organized.

I think this ties in to the fact that you were in those games. If you are an above-average player, on average your normal mini will seem higher-skilled because you're pulling the average up by leading or whatever. Hapahauli is a talented player and a good leader (even when he's wrong) as town. This might make IML seem more town-favored to him, who leads towns or supports good leaders.

I assume he got busy. I see him on liquiddota occasionally, but that's about it.
